"Amrita, I have been to Pranab's place for a medical check-up. Dr. Vyas says that I have improved in every way. Even my chest measurement has increased!""That is fine," said Nolini-da. "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"But you know, for a long time I have not been able to increase one thing."
"What is that?"
"My height. No improvement!"
"I know a good cure for it."
"A way to increase my height?"
"Yes. Just raise your heels slowly and secretly, but more secretly than slowly."
